Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter a $1.8 M Success

If you're a game developer with a notable portfolio, Kickstarter is your genie in a bottle. Jordan Weisman is the latest designer to make a crowdsourced wish, and he's walking away with the budget to create Shadowrun Returns. The latest in a string of wildly successful videogame Kickstarters is complete, and after seeking $400,000 for a new Shadowrun, Weisman received more than $1.8 million.

"A-freaking-mazing! Wowsers! Bibbidy-bobbidy-boo!" Weisman et al wrote on the official Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter page. "We are so happy to be associated with such a wonderful community."

Shadowrun Returns will be a 2D, turn-based, single-player tactical RPG, and Weisman is promising a deep story and meaningful character development. I'm just glad it won't be a Windows/XBLA crossover shooter.
